I thought you might like to hear about about this interesting Porsche 964 Carrera 2 I’ve just photographed and written about for Total 911 magazine. You can read the full feature in the latest issue, so I won’t go into many details on the car’s story but if you buy a copy, I hope you’ll [...]

That Swordfish Spec TVR…. and Ms Berry.
Watching TV here in the UK on Sunday evening, one of my ‘favourite yet forgotten’ films was showing – Swordfish. Favourite, yet forgotten because I loved it when it was launched, yet somehow, I’d forgotten about it, despite three very striking things. John Travolta and Hugh Jackman’s great performances, the TVR that became known as [...]

For Small Boys of All Ages….
A busy day at RAF Leeming yesterday with very little time for photography which was a shame as there were more subjects than you can point a camera at. However, at the end of the day, we just had time to pose a couple of the cars against the back drop of a Tornado jet. [...]

Modern Classics
In late June, I spent a full day photographing some motoring icons up on the North Yorkshire Moors for client Classic Driving Experience. Their fleet of cars for rental are probably best described as ‘modern classics’ such as the Audi Quattro, a 1980′s icon made famous once again in the UK by Gene Hunt. Their [...]

Guess The Car Answer and The Driver That Day….
It is, of course, the Ferrari 312T3 now owned by Nick Mason, shot in 2004 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Well done to Peter Windsor and Mike Newman for getting it. As far as I know, it was a unique occasion as the car was driven up the hill by his son, Jacques Villeneneuve, [...]

HEMS Air Ambulance
Working with the Great North Air Ambulance in live situations. This road accident involved a head-on crash between two vans. Sadly, it seems that one of the occupants wasn’t wearing a seat belt and happened to be resting his feet on the dashboard while reading the paper. Four ambulances, two fire rescue vehicles, two GNAA [...]
